The Roman ruins of Creiro, located near the pristine beaches of the Arrábida Natural Park, preserve the foundations of a fish-salting facility and a residential villa dating back to the Roman occupation. Visitors can walk among the stone tanks where fish were processed and see the layout of the living quarters, all set against a backdrop of lush hills and the Atlantic Ocean. This site provides a tangible connection to the region's ancient economy and daily life, making it a unique stop for history enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
